R.I.P. Senator Inouye
Senator Daniel Inouye D-Hawaii died to today.

A WWII hero and later a great Senator from Hawaii.

I'm proud to say I voted for him a couple of times while I lived in Hawaii.

I have relatives who live in Hawaii. They always spoke favorably of the Senator.
God Bless!

He was definitely a class act in the Senate - as well as a war hero.

He was part of the famous 442nd - the Go For Broke Brigade - who had some of the hardest fightingin Europe - proving as Japanese Americans - they were very loyal to the US.

And I had forgotten he was awarded the Medal of Honor:
